Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-730:
-----------------------------------

Chase: good point, I didn't think that it would leave a duplicate element, 
which would be bad.  It sounds like you've thought this through.  I'm now fine 
with the current patch.  +1 Or, I'd be fine with (2) if we added a javadoc 
comment noting that the reference is retained.  If folks really want to remove 
a reference they still could by setting a value to null before removing it.

> GenericData.Array throws an UnsupportedOperationException when set() or 
> remove() are used on an instance of it.  I think it's reasonable for those 
> methods to work though, since their implementation is simple and inline with 
> most other List types.
